A unique opportunity for an experienced Unity Developer to work at one of the leading AI companies in the video game industry. Full-time position with options for remote and flexible working.
Are you interested in joining a close-knit team working on one of the foremost technologies in the videogame industry today? Our middleware Kythera is the most advanced AI solution on the market. We work side by side with studios, ranging from independent to AAA, to support the development of their title and AI features.
We are looking to employ a new member of staff to join our development team to develop and maintain a new C# and Unity integration of our C++-based game AI middleware.
You must be a highly skilled and experienced programmer who can demonstrate excellent technical problem-solving, understanding of low-level programming and performance concerns, and the ability to provide technical leadership.
If selected, you may expect to take responsibility for the development of our C# integration and to work on a variety of projects on Unity and proprietary engines using C#.

Kythera AI is an engine-agnostic, platform-agnostic C++ library. For each engine that we support we need to build an integration layer, which exposes Kythera’s features and capability to the engine. You will be working to build a new integration with the Unity engine, as well as working with partners to integrate Kythera AI with proprietary C# game engines. As part of this role, you will also be expected to work with our team to update and maintain our C# integration, bringing in new features as they are developed while maintaining the high standards of performance and optimization we apply to our C++ codebase.
In continually extending and improving the capabilities of our product, you will continually be pushing the boundaries of expectations in the industry, reflected in our clients’ high-profile games.
